Boogiepop Void.6473 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 People are actively trying to keep numbers down because jade maw is overscaling. As little as 25 people can make the event to hard it can't be finished in time. this needs to be fixed. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raffrey.5271 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 This is true. I've had three Jade Maw. The first two failed. In these attempts we had squad full of people doing it. Every fragment thrown at it only deal like 1% damage. Then my 3rd run which I waited it to spawn, after checking the spawn schedule on wiki. We started the event with like 5 people, me included, then some other filled in halfway to like 10. It took us less than 5 minutes to take it down. That event scales horribly. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightychaz.2839 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 This. Plus champs everywhere. The scaling is the worst. Did it without problems with 10 ppl and less, but back then i don't needed it for the turtle. Now i need it and you fail almost every time cause too many ppl wanting it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valaraukar.7652 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) It's the same kind event as Joko event. The event must be done with a few people only. So, it's a not tag event and limited to 5-10 people. Edited March 12, 2022 by Valaraukar.7652 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehnerdynerdlo.5846 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I've done this event 10+ times and not once actually beat it, which is a pain in the kitten because it's all I need for the turtle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst thing is that right now all people on the map kinda need it and come to the maw when it spawns. Some pretty kitten terrible scaling this one.

mythical.6315 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I found it to be more successful at the xx:45 spawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Don't worry. After tomorrow's patch, when the turtle egg can be obtained via vendor, there will be far fewer players attempting this meta. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancho.8750 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 The event is not hard, it is just broken when scaled up. When you have let say 45 people the HP scales for that many people and you need 45 crystals but you only get 5. I think they should rework it and make the crystals something like breakbar thing "Hit it with x crystals" it drops to the ground or something and people hit it repeat 3 time or something, boom now it is even active event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythical.6315 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 One of the main issues is that most of the players don’t seem to actually be contributing in generating crystals. They just stand or run around aimlessly. If you destroy the tentacles and golems (?), you’ll get a lot of crystals. Whether this will generate 100 over the duration of the event, I don’t know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jade maw, isn't the meta event.. its just a single event and initially there will be MORE people doing it because you need it to get your turtle. The patch today, will just allow you to buy the egg and skip beating Soo Wan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey.4207 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Please fix. It's impossible to complete everytime more than 10 people join. The scaling is all kind of broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDraco.3965 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 This fight shouldnt be scaling at all. The Fractal fight is 5% damage per crystal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 This is insane. I hid my tag, let only five people join, asked the other arrivals to wait outside until the Jade Maw was low to finish it together -- but, as usual, nobody listened and my repeated attempts to ask people to leave the event zone and have only five players bring it down to 5% were met with aggression in chat. This event either needs 15 more minutes on the timer or an up-scaling that makes sense. The way it is now, it can be considered broken. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleabite.7528 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Agree - we just had one spawn with 4.5 million HP, and it barely dropped crystals. Impossible. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to scale fractals. Fractals are always 5 people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterson.5172 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 ye had this just now, got the boss down to like 30%, a big group showed up and the HP barely moved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I agree it's a problem that the event is so much easier with fewer people and virtually impossible with larger groups. More people showing up to help with an event shouldn't be a problem in GW2. I've seen it succeed twice, once just because the map wasn't full and very few people joined in and once because it was an organised meta map and the commander specifically asked everyone to limit it to 10 people and only those who need it for an achievement. I think the mechanics of it are fine but the scaling needs to be adjusted, so with more people the fragments being thrown do more damage than they currently do. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardhikaizecson.3697 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 This is one of those rare occasion where you dread seeing another player coming, especially when they use mentor tag and calling everyone to come, I remember a reddit post where someone did that and instantly get hate whisper by another players. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey.4207 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) People waking up as early as 4 or 5 am to complete this event with few people on the map. This shouldn't be happening. GW2 should encourage team player not discourage it Edited March 20, 2022 by Mickey.4207 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyriel.4370 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Just attempted 3 times. All failed. Issues are as follows: - scaling as above has said, too easy to scale. - availability of crystals, not enough drop for larger groups - Timer - very short - long times without being able to "activate" the crystal to throw as it just won't put down the aoe. Effects: - Waiting till low pop times to try again. - Most of pre event comms are telling people to drop their tag - Arguments breaking out about "git gud" over an event that is clearly buggy. - People trolling by tagging up 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
